When trying to perform biexponential transformation to fluorescence channels in a flowFrame, per Finak et al. BMC Bioinformatics 2010, 11:546, I receive this error:
Error in .Call("flowCore_biexponential_transform", x, a = a, b = b, c = c, :
"flowCore_biexponential_transform" not available for .Call() for package "flowCore"
I see that this error was also reported approximately three years ago ( https://support.bioconductor.org/p/88362/ ) and that a follow-on issue was not fully resolved. I just uninstalled and reinstalled R and all the packages I am using to see if this would help. No change.
My questions are -
the original partial fix was to use devtools and install what I take to be modified source on github... but, I am not very computer savvy - I think this will be rabbit hole for me. Is there another way to install the fixed code that is accessible to me, and, if not, what's up (problem was reported ~3 years ago, seems like fix should be in most recent version)?
after the person who originally reported this problem used devtools and the source on github, there was a follow-on problem - was this ever fixed/sorted? I assume I may need the fix to the follow-on as well. Follow-on error was -
Error in optim(par = p.ab, mclMultivBiexpAB, y = y, c = p.cd[1], d = p.cd[2], :
